The Gabriola Historical & Museum Society

The Museum is a unique place to provide valuable insight into our ancestors and resources in a fascinating range of subjects. It tells the stories of the people who built and are building this island and its First Nations legacy. We also celebrate and preserve our diverse cultural heritage, and help foster mutual understanding, cooperation and peace amongst the peoples of this Island.

The Gabriola Historical Museum Society mission:

Is to foster and develop the interests of Gabriola residents, visitors and other institutions in the island's cultural and natural history. To tell the story of Gabriola island's geology, geography, flora, fauna and marine environment and life through exhibits, lectures or other means with emphasis on the way which the Coast Salish people, Euraopean explorers, post contact pioneers, and recent inhabitants have related to its natural setting and earlier history.

This is a non-profit volunteer-run community museum.
